That amount is insane

Half pint doesn't seem like much.

Not true, it’s been shown that having a drink a day has health benefits. But that’s an actual drink as in 1 beer, 1 glass of wine, 1 shot of liquor. Not a 16oz styrofoam cup with 4 shots of bourbon mixed with sprite

this was some nonsense pushed by wine companies telling us how good a glass a day is for your heart. Its all terrible for you

Eh. This isn’t true.

Drinking every night period is unhealthy and makes you on the verge of being an alcoholic if not one already.

Problem is that over time, for him to get that same feeling, it will start requiring more and more. I forget the piece of the brain with the endorphins and dopamine effects, but that starts needing more and more over time to feel The same way.

Then he will get MUSH BRAIN & bad Decisions get worse and worse.

If it’s anything that becomes 5-7 days week, or more than half the days per week, that’s opening yourself up to a major problem.

He needs to stop now and detox, all kidding aside, he’s setting himself up for a bad journey. Once your body gets used to that and then trying to stop, he’s in for a very bad experience!

I used to drink a half a fifth of whiskey and 3 beers, minimum, every night for almost 20 years. Stopped cold turkey the same day I stopped smoking. That was 18 years ago. Not a drop or a cigarette since.

I’m proud of that.

I use to drink a 1/5th a night for a decade

How the frick do you people function?

I had to go to medical detox or risk dying. Weirdly enough, I used to only smoke when I drank, then when I quit drinking I started smoking everyday.

I ranged from a pint to 1/5 daily on long binges during the last year of my drinking. I did this with cigarettes too. 7 years sober but I still vape when not in public. I’m a closet vaper.
